AirPush Detector

This is a simple Android application which detects other installed applications which appear to use known notification ad frameworks and offers the user the ability to easily uninstall them.
If your device is running Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" or higher, you don't need this app anymore! You can just press and hold on notifications and your device will tell you who is generating them.

Currently detected frameworks include:
- Airpush
- LeadBolt
- Appenda
- IAC
- Moolah Media
- SendDroid
- AppBucks
- Kuguo
- Applovin'

THIS APP DOES NOT *BLOCK
* THESE ADS. It only tells you which applications are causing them. You must uninstall the applications this app identifies to stop the ads.

THERE IS NO OFFICIAL PAID OR "PRO" VERSION OF THIS APP. If you find an app with a similar name, description, and screenshots, odds are strong they have simply taken the source code and republished it as their own without any significant changes.

If you experience crashes, using Android's "Report" feature is likely to get it fixed. Leaving comments without any useful information is not :)

This app is open source
- see the development page for full source code.

I was having problems with opt out pop ups. Spent lot of time in finding apps for solution then came across this airpush and bingo it solved the problem by indicating which apps are creating problems. And the best it's doesn't ask for permissions and less than 2 Mb space. Great job thanks

This app is great for the adware it knows. It seemed to have worked. I was getting popups on my HTC One v.2 from Google Play store. To the makers of this app, please be aware of such adware. Didn't want to use your option of sending private info to gain more insight on what the new adware was, but please try to make your app recognize any new adware. Though, I think your scan worked for me. We will see.

Given that I have a habit of downloading a handful of apps at a time, it was always a headache when one started pushing ads onto my phone. I'd end up unchecking the 'receive notifications' box on my applications manager, thus also blocking useful update notifications. With AirPush, I can execute a surgical strike, uninstalling only the specific apps causing the ads. It's easy to use, since it does both a global scan of the phone, and identifies the source of particular ads.

Since one week i was fighting with this stupid pop up ads and couldn't locate where they where coming from. Then i found online the recommendation to try this app. It found the root and i removed the app. The app was installed about 6 month already, so i guess the ad pusher was integrated through an app update.... Anyway the airpusher detector works perfect and in my opinion the developer that using this pop up ads should be removed from the play store.

Maybe the ads are outsmarting this app but i scan, it tells me my device is in good shape/awesome but I have intrusive ads popping up in all my apps so I click that it didn't work, then it tries what I assume is a deeper scan and every time around 290 out of 500 files the app just shuts down and an error message pops up.

Didn't detect any problems (meanwhile I'm getting full screen pop ups and notification pop ups while I'm using the app) then it says my phone is perfect. Then when i actually run the scan, it always stops halfway through, the app crashes, forces out to the home page, and then I get a message telling me airpush detector has stopped working. I've downloaded it several times. Tried several times. This app needs to be uthanized.

This works it found one culprit bit I was still getting ads but there's instructions within this app that explains how to find what app is causing the issue. Followed the instructions and also sent in my app information. It was an app called "TV remote" removed it and ads are gone. 5 stars

Works fairly well for me, but it can definitely use improvement. After playing with this App for an hour or so, I 've come to the conclusion that it doesn't work as well as I first thought. Same pop-ups appear over and over again with one particular App. It seems to be better in a browser on-line. Now if you would only hide your banner.

5★ app! Under 200kb and let's you know what apps to uninstall, due to incredibly shrewd developed apps. All ads and no features. This will find your trouble maker. Rooting is the only real way to block AdSense and the whole nine.

Um idk why but it won't work this pop ups well still came up and it didn't found nothing. They well came up as soon as I unlock my phone. And they well take me to some random pages on internet. Some times they turn off my wife automatically! !! Its sooo annoying please help!!!! Any advice? Finally I found my solution I did it by holding home key it show me who it was its creator finally it stopped. The app could not find it but its name its career test and quizzes so don't download that app.

Mat. B. Oct 16, 2015     

Today I started to get a lot of adds randomly on my home screen. I tried this and it first says I'm all good. But then I say it didn't work and it starts to scan again and crashes about half way through. It did this 3 times in a row now. Uninstalled

Im really thankful havin this app, after long time, i finally found, the app that disturbed me a lot. It was nothin else as Skillz, really great app, fun and entertaining brain games. However spamed me all the with ads, was like chain reaction, one to another, wherever i was doing. Anyway now its solved. Have everyone a very nice day!)))

Hard to believe that this little app that is so easy to use can do what it does, for free. Deserves 10 Stars. BTW, some people are saying they still get noticed that they have air push apps & giving one star. You have to manually delete but this app gives you a simple 1-click solution. BTW, on Samsung SIII or Note III, it says the device will perform the same task. Maybe, but I still prefer to use this app. Scan>Find>Uninstall>Done Great tool!

I scanned and found the problem. Before I did that, there's a random ads pop out on my phone and it was cause by file manager which I download from unknown sources. I knew it was the file manager becuzi tried to uninstall it but it won't work, I tried this up, it scan the problem and there I can now uninstall the file manager. Thanks to who made this app. I will give 5 stars

It did not work probably because the pop ups are from google play store. Very annoying, windows block all the screen. Always thought that Google won 't do such nasty things to there loyal users.

Kir. I. May 20, 2013     

I removed the annoying offers in my notification bar and stopped the automatically showing of some icons to my home screen. Very useful application if you don't know which application causes you those problems, so you can uninstall it (the "bad" application) and solve your problems.

Tried it out. And it told me my phone was good. But every time I pick up my phone 3 or 4 ad's would pop up. So I scanned again and same result so the app asked me to email them a list of my apps and I never heard anything from them. But lookout anti-virus found several ad-ware apps and removed them promptly. 5 stars to lookout and negative 5 stars to this app

I had been dealing with airpush pop ups for weeks, even going as far as to factory reset my tablet to get rid of them. When that didn't work, I figured out that Clean Master was the source of the problem. After deleting that, it still persisted. One quick scan by this app and I discovered that the Akinator app was another adware threat. I deleted it and have since been pop up free. This app is a life saver. Many thanks to the creator who vastly improved my bad day.

So, I started getting ads in my notifications, and I googled the problem. I came across an article about this app so I thought I would give it a try. First thing I noticed was it didn't require ANY permissions! Second after I ran the app and did a scan, it said "You don't need this app (meaning AirPush Detector) just long press a notification to see who is making it" Thank you AirPush for being awesome. Simply awesome! BTW I have the Samsung GS4 and if you are getting ads in your notifications just long press to find out where its coming from.

I do have an issue with a problematic ad popping up on my phone. Installed this to find issue. Using "SCAN" button it says I don't need this app. And when I use the "IT DIDN'T WORK" button to try to make it scan my apps, it crashes. Never worked. Uninstalled

This app, immediately upon opening it, told me my device is clear. It is defintiely not. I have had to put up with my phone forcing me into the Google Play app for some random other app or game for around a year now, despite whatever I was doing. Opening a time sensitive Snap, that I now can't see because I was forced into an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT APP WHILE USING SOMETHING TOTALLY UNRELATED. It's really sad that I feel like I'm being molested by advertising companies.

Nic. M. Aug 26, 2013     

Any apps that is honest and tells you it doesn't need any permissions and THEN honestly tells you, HEY! YOU HAVE ANDROID 4.1+, YOU DON'T NEED ME! is instantly deserving of 5 Stars. Then to top all that off, it tells me how to fix it myself. I wish I could give you more stars. You give a man a fish, he eats for a day. You teach a man to fish, he eats for life. You, good sir, have taught a man to fish. THANK YOU!

This app has been such a tremendous help with my last two phones. Now I have my new Samsung 4 and no longer need it. But it feels strange to delete it I have relied on it so long...

Bri. T. May 7, 2013     

This app is the best air push detector out there. It is simple easy and a very small application. Another way to check to see which app is showing the add is to simply press and hold. That doesn't work on some phones so this is the next best thing.
